Unlocking the mystery of stuttering

Researchers from The Australian Stuttering Research Centre are launching a world first study to see if it's possible to detect whether a baby will go on to stutter in later life - well before they start to talk. They will scan newborns with a family history of the disorder to try and find transmission problems in the parts of the brain related to speech that are present in older children and adults who stutter.

Could you explain years of intense research about a specific area in just three minutes? That's what Health Sciences students did at the annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition at Cumberland campus.

An unprecedented $10.8 million donation to Sydney Nursing School by the Susan and Isaac Wakil Foundation sees the University of Sydney today surpass $500 million in philanthropic funds raised since 2008.
